Ultraprocessed food consumption and kidney function decline in a population-based cohort in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ultraprocessing makes food products more convenient, appealing, and profitable. Recent studies show that high ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake is associated with cardiometabolic diseases.

Objectives

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between UPF consumption and risks of kidney function decline in the general population.

Methods

In a prospective, general population-based Lifelines cohort from Northern Netherlands, 78,346 participants free of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline responded to a 110-item FFQ. We used a multivariable regression analysis to study the associations of the proportion (in grams/day) of UPFs in the total diet with a composite kidney outcome [incident CKD or a ≥30% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) de
